παράξενη φυσιογνωμία.Μια πολύ μικρή αναφορά σε αυτό το θέμα για το συγκεκριμένο εξώφυλλο (ίσως η μοναδική στο διαδίκτυο ) γίνεται εδώ:Πολύ πιθανό αλλά θα πήγαιναν τη φωτό για εκτύπωση μαζί με το λάθος; Εκτός κι αν ήταν τόσο μεγάλο το κόστος για να το διορθώσουν. Όσο το κοιτάζω πάντως το εξώφυλλο τόσο πιο περίεργη - φοβιστική αίσθηση μου δημιουργεί. Φταίει ίσως και το εφέ (dragging the shutter νομίζω λέγεται αυτόόπως και τα σκοτεινά χρώματα που κάνουν αντίθεση με τον πολύχρωμο τίτλο.
The 50 Year Old Mystery of the Weird Fifth Face
. . . what’s with the weird fifth face peeking over Chick Churchill’s shoulder?
It is obvious that who or what is peeking was not in the original shot as all others are equally over-exposed and saturated and the tilted semi-motion blur that is uniform with TYA runs opposite with the Peeker.
Definately a pretty clean 1967’s paste-up job, but not as good as the infamous February 21, 1964 Life magazine cover of Lee Harvey Oswald – the conflicting shadows and lighting, the proportions, the stance – horrendous by today’s discerning eyes, but back then it was real.
What really begs the question is: Were TYA aware and was it done with their approval? Was this an art department prank that stuck? Was this an inside joke? Or was this just another accepted step in psychedelia that was expected; something to trip on – as the cover’s text and the image are both very LSD influenced. Or was it a ghostly apparition only seen when the film was developed? Yeah, the last one.
Bottom line, Trippy Far Out 1967 Psychedelic Blues Rock record and cover!
Ten Years After would make Rock History with their next two albums ’69’s “Ssssh” and ’70’s “Cricklewood Green” – both Iconic ’70’s Rock.
